Samsung 10 overview

1Description

Take your work and entertainment with you on-the-go with the 10.6" Galaxy Book 10 Multi-Touch 2-in-1 Notebook from Samsung. Its 2-in-1 design lets you quickly change from typing in laptop mode to writing, drawing, and more in tablet mode using the included S-Pen stylus or even your fingers. Moreover, its 10.6" display features a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution and multi-touch capabilities, so you'll be able to utilize touch gestures and commands within Windows 10 to enhance its efficiency and accessibility.

Powered by a 1.0 GHz Intel Core m3-7Y30 dual-core processor and 4GB of RAM, it can handle multitasking and quickly accessing frequently used files and programs. For storing your photos, videos, and files, it's equipped with 128GB of eMMC storage. Connect to the Internet via 802.11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi, which lets you connect to the 5 GHz band for faster speeds. Other integrated features include a webcam, a microphone, speakers, a 3.5mm mic and headphone combo jack, and a USB 3.1 Type-C port. The operating system installed is Windows 10 Home.

Seamlessly Connected

Connect your Samsung Book and Samsung smartphone to share files wirelessly, even without Wi-Fi. You'll also be able to receive and respond to notifications from third party and native apps.

More Ways to Do More

Swap from typing in laptop mode to tablet mode and use the included S-Pen or your fingers to take notes, doodle, and more.

Lightning Quick

The Galaxy Book 10 can last up to 9 hours of video playback on a single charge. Recharge it quickly thanks to Adaptive Fast Charging, which can recharge it fully in under three hours.

Expandable Memory

If the built-in storage isn't enough for you, you can install a microSDXC card up to 256GB to increase this system's capacity. It's also useful for quickly transferring files from mobile devices.

Windows 10 Home

Start Menu

After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.

Cortana

Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.

Microsoft Edge

After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.

Windows Store

For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.

Windows Continuum

Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.

Xbox on Windows 10

Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.

Great 2-in-1The Samsung Galaxy Book is fantastic. The 10.6 size makes it compact enough to fit in my purse and allows it to be handy whenever I need it. Its light weight, so carrying it everyday is not an issue. The island style keyboard was very easy to use, my hands rested comfortably on the keys and its so easy to switch from tablet to laptop! The battery life is also a plus! I was able to use it for 8+ hours at work to write up Word Docs, use Adobe Illustrator, and check emails. The S Pen also makes it convenient to take quick notes as my day progresses. When recommending this to a friend, I would not hesitate to show them the amazing abilities of this tablet.

Excellent for Business or personal useWe got to try out the Galaxy Book 10.6 128GB. Our business laptop had crashed, and we were looking for something to replace it. This is it. Super fast, crystal clear display, and the ease of switching from tablet mode to laptop mode is my favorite. I can save all the files I need like a regular laptop, but carrying it around like a tablet. The best of both worlds. I have to say after using this I don't see us going back to a laptop or desktop very soon. Ease of use, portability, crystal clear screen, great battery life. 5 stars all the way around. And don't forget how easy it is to link with your phone!

Great tablet to replace your laptopWe ordered this device as an alternative to laptops for staff and overall have found it to be a useful device for mid level users. While it lacks the power of a full PC or more complete device, it is great for meetings and traveling managers. The keyboard and pen are great and super easy to use, however most users found that they preferred a wireless mouse to the touch pad or touch controls. Battery life has been pretty good with it lasting several days on a charge when used infrequently. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a laptop for day to day tasks such as word processing or spreadsheets. If your looking for something that can run photoshop you may want a more powerful device.

Great little laptop/tabletIf you are looking for a tablet/laptop combo, then the Samsung book is for you. I got the 10.6 size, 256 GB version and am mostly satisfied with the end product. It doesn't have the full AMOLED display its 12 inch brother uses but colors and picture quality is quite vibrant for what it offers. It also uses an older low-power Core m3 so don't expect to play high end games on this device. This is definitely not meant for that, but for casual browsing, school or work related projects, or just watching Netflix, this one will hit the mark. This is also very sleek and portable. No problems just packing it into your book bag. The included keyboard and pen are bonuses. The keyboard is okay, I felt the back could prop the tablet up more. The touchpad button was a little too finicky for me. There were times where with a gentle press, the button would get stuck for a second. I have no complaints about the pen. I actually like it. Otherwise, this is a good entry level tablet/keyboard hybrid. If you've got the extra cash, I say go for the 12 inch Book (that comes with AMOLED display, backlit keyboard lights, and an additional camera on the back). For my needs, I think this 10.6 is perfect but your mileage may vary. It all depends on what you need it for and what you plan to use it for. I'll give this a 4 star review.

Master of all TasksThe Galaxy book is an extremely versatile device. I have used this for work (word & excel) while traveling, pool side web browsing, and even gaming. I could view the screen well in bright light, pair with Bluetooth headphones & mouse. All tasks performed extremely well. The keyboard is very comfortable and allows for multiple adjustments to accommodate sitting on the couch, at a desk, or on a plane. Because I found myself using the keyboard for work I do wish that it was a little sturdier, but that was the only slight improvement I would want for this device. After using this device I would definitely want to upgrade to the larger screen for the amount of use I was getting out it, and I don't feel that would impact the portability as this is a very light tablet. Finally the battery life was more then capable of lasting multiple days on a single charge.

FINALLY I FOUND THE PERFECT DEVICEi purchased the huawei matebook but returned it because it had a propitiatory charging system and no expansion slot etc. this book has fulfilled everything i was looking for. the best way to describe this device is to explain how i use it. i take ONLY the laptop with me instead of a laptop bag now. It uses a quickcharge 3.0 charger just like my phone does. so i carry that in my pocket. if i do have a bag with me, between meetings i hook it up to a quickcharge 3.- power bank and it charges on the go! i get to the next meeting and i am fully charged. performance is fine. quick and not sluggish like an atom chip. sd card slot is there for extended storage screen is nice and bright. speakers are loud enough. For $700 (and less now) it's the best device i have ever purchased for what i need. i work on this device. microsoft office, not a gamer.

Love itJust opening you could tell how well the product is by the weight of it. The charging which is USB-C is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S8. Others tablet or laptop have difference charging port, it is why I mention it. The speed of the laptop/tablet is very fast. I was amazed that I could open different windows and open as fast as the first one. The internet very fast as well I pay for 50Mbps Verizon Fios and I got Download 79.74 Mbps Upload 100.47 Mbps. Is that amazing or what for Wi-Fi. The screen looks spectacular, just finish watching a movie and look so clear it was just awesome. The keyboard makes it so useful just like a laptop. Besides beign a keyboard is a cover to protect the screen. The Pen is like your mouse. Easy to use hover over the screen and works better than your mouse with a button on the pen to use it as your right click of your mouse.

A Must GetI recently bought one and I am delighted with my purchase. The Intel Core m3-7y30 @ 1.00GHz 1.61GHz is fast enough to have different windows open. The screen is spectacular, even to watch movies. It comes with the keyboard (do not have to buy an extra accessory like others tablet). It is a little heavy for a tablet which for me is good because it means is strong and durable.
